Synopsis: "This volume contains a selection of poems that come from his first book, Raíz de Mágoa (1972) until the recent África Frente e Verso, and even includes a brief unpublished sequence.Urbano Bettencourt's poetry requires our reunion from time to time, a succession of glances and thoughts. It's not so much a poetry of ideas or concepts, but rather an idea or concept of poetry where everything fits or it may be suggested and hinted, where the best of our literary tradition converges so that we can constantly redefine who we are and where we came from' Vamberto Freitas (from the Preface)
